"Although we are not prohibiting peanut and tree nut lunches, if they are part of a lunch, we would need to make an accommodation on the spot. For example, if your child brings in a lunch with peanuts and or tree nuts, we would direct them to eat their lunch in one of the other Kindergarten classrooms that are “Not Peanut and Tree Nut Free”. In the unlikely event that this becomes a cumbersome task, or creates unnecessary concerns, we would then ask for parents to reconsider lunch options.

As we will be including snack time in kindergarten this year and due to the kindergarten schedule with a variety of specials, snack time will be different for each kindergarten class. This would require those foods to be completely peanut, tree nut free for all kindergarten classrooms."

* Once a month, I will be sending home Scholastic Book Club flyers. This is an opportunity for you to purchase books for your child. There is no obligation to participate. There will be detailed instructions for you to order through the flyer or online.
